Thanks, everybody, but I don't understand why the debate.
The label says that the service is "performed" by Cantor Abraham Shapiro and the Choir of Temple B'nai Abraham of Newark, NJ, Max Helfman, conducting.
Seth Winner says it was Beryl Chaggy.  
Is the United States of America Navy Department label incorrect?
